A collection of tiny utility classes for Android development.

Sync static functions that load Bitmap objects, optionally with automatic subsampling calculated from desired minimum width and height. Can also just return bitmap size. Supports various sources:

• file path as string
• resources
• assets

This class is an implementation of this official training guide.

Attach this web client to a web view to make mailto: links work:

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MailtoWebViewClient());

Extends ViewPager to let you disable paging/swiping:

myLockableViewPager.setPagingEnabled(false);

All credits for this class goes to Santiago L. Valdarrama.

Simulates a progress overlay creating a ProgressDialog with no borders, frame nor text:

overlay = ProgressOverlay.show(this);
/* ... */
overlay.dismiss();

A generic, abstract, web service client that uses HttpURLConnection inside an AsyncTask. It starts requests, read responses and manages event listeners. Two concrete implementations are provided as nested classes: Request.JSON and Request.XML: both extend the base client, implementing response parsing and error checking.

url = Uri.parse("http://www.example.com/ws/").buildUpon();
url.appendQueryParameter("foo", "bar");

ws = new Request.JSON();
ws.addEventListener(new Request.EventListener<JSONObject>() {
	public void onSuccess(String url, JSONObject response) { 
		Log.i("WS", "Received: " + response.toString());
	}
});
ws.send(url.build().toString());

Inspired by the great Mootools Request class.

Enqueue toasts in order to avoid Toast overlapping occurring in Android 8.1+. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79159357.

ToastQueue.enqueue(this, "Text", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
ToastQueue.enqueue(Toast.makeText(this, "Text", Toast.LENGTH_LONG));

If you think a class of your can be useful to all of us, feel free to share it forking this repo and making a pull request.

I will gladly accept contributions also if they are just fixes or refinements.
